A D.C. Councilmember with ties to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has announced a bid for mayor of the nation’s capital.<\/a><\/p>\n

Councilmember Janeese Lewis George issued a statement on Monday that she is launching a mayoral campaign, aiming to succeed long-serving Mayor Muriel Bowser, who is not pursuing re-election.<\/p>\n

The progressive Democrat<\/a> said that “too many residents still feel squeezed financially, from unaffordable housing to childcare, and feel unsafe in their neighborhoods. Residents face uneven access to opportunity and a city government that on its best days feels unresponsive, and on its worst, is leaving residents out in the cold all because leaders have chosen to prioritize the needs of the well-connected over us.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s wrong, it\u2019s not the DC we should be and that\u2019s why I\u2019m running for Mayor,” she added.<\/p>\n

Bowswer, who has been in office since 2015, announced last month that she will not run for a fourth term.<\/p>\n

“DC is a place that honors and celebrates its leaders. We will always be grateful for Mayor Bowser\u2019s devoted public service and impactful leadership,” George said in a post responding to Bowser’s announcement.<\/p>\n

The mayoral hopeful first won her seat on the council in a 2020 election, in which she was supported by the DSA. Upon her victory, the organization congratulated her in a press release that referred to her as “our chapter member and endorsed candidate[.]”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year when President Donald Trump<\/a> moved to leverage the National Guard and D.C. Metropolitan Police Department to crack down on crime in the nation’s capital, George was a vocal critic.<\/p>\n

“Like many of you, I am shocked and outraged that President Trump has announced he is weaponizing the Home Rule Act by deploying the National Guard and exercising authority over the Metropolitan Police Department. This is a direct attack on the 700,000 residents of DC and we will not stand for it,” she said in part of the statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
